| Additional information |
István Csók was one of the longest-lived Hungarian painters of the modern era, born in 1865 and dying in 1961 at age 96 — his career spanning Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and well into the Cold War period. This commemorative was issued to mark the 150th anniversary of his birth. Csók studied in Budapest, Munich, and Paris, and his time at the Académie Julian placed him squarely within the currents of French modernism before he returned to Hungary and developed his characteristically vivid palette.
